Ciney Brune

Beer Description

Ciney Brune is the darker companion to Ciney’s blonde ale heritage, associated with the Belgian special beer tradition created in Ciney, Wallonia, in 1980. It belongs to the Heineken-connected Alken-Maes portfolio after Heineken took control of Alken-Maes in 2008. The beer is top-fermented and built around roasted malt, brown colour, sweetness, and a smooth, warming profile. Within the archive, Ciney Brune preserves the maltier, darker side of Belgian regional ale identity.
